Stane Street Morris

Horsham, Horsham District

A fully mixed Morris side dancing in the North West tradition and named after the famous Roman road which runs
through their part of West Sussex.

The North West tradition is based on dances from Lancashire and Cheshire and was always 'mixed' (men & women)
unlike other men only traditions. The dances evolved through being brought into the industrial towns from the countryside.
The workers wore wooden shoes (clogs) and danced in the streets, resulting in processional styles of dances where
the clatter of the clogs accompanied the music.
